Pet care experience

We will treat your pet like ours!

Our family has had pets for many years. We decided to offer our boarding and day care services as a "family" business, and to possible do this during retirement. We are active adults, and still have a teenager in the home that helps with this endeavor, as he is saving up for his first car.

Dog Walking • Sep 01, 2026

Avery took great care of Kaizer and Kano. I was so happy my dogs were both at ease with Avery. I will definitely be calling both Avery and Carol in the future for dog walking and dog sitting.

House Sitting • Aug 14, 2026

Avery is a very nice young man and a loving pet sitter. Unfortunately he didn’t remember some instructions from our meet n greet (like where to sleep, shower and have the dog sleep in her crate next to the spare bedroom bed) and didn’t read them upon starting the sit. I can get beyond that, but my biggest issue is coming home to a water bowl so loaded with pink and brown scum with gross scum floating in it that our dog wouldn’t even drink from it. I don’t know how long she went without fresh water from a clean bowl.

Carol did a great job taking care of our dog. She was genuinely concerned for his wellbeing and sent pictures and updates daily, which helped put us at ease. We will definitely have Carol take care of our pup again.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is pet friendly. We have all vinyl flooring, and a large fenced in backyard. We also have the ability to take daily walks as our road is not heavily traveled. We live off the road, and our furry guests really enjoy looking out all the windows and doors at the squirrels, chickens and other wildlife. Our home is usually calm and mellow, so you your pet cannot handle a lot of barking/noise, they will probably love our home! We do not crate our furry friends, except out of the request of the owner. Although we have listed one pet at a time, we will take up to two from the same household.

Pets

A typical day

We have a bunch of fun activities for dogs- we keep various toys in the house they can play with. Our driveway is 500 feet long, so just to walk down to the end of it is a pretty good walk, weather permitting. If not we have a covered front porch they can enjoy some outside time. Of course, the fenced in yard can be used for quick potty breaks, or extended play.
